This paper applies propensity score matching to data from a recent Flash Eurobarometer survey (covering 27 European Union countries) in order to estimate the effect of participation in international education mobility programmes on young people's environmental attitudes. The empirical results consistently show that an education experience abroad has a modest but statistically significant positive effect on environmental concerns. This finding sheds light on the important role that studying abroad can play in promoting environmental awareness among the youth
